Eleven Proven Ways to Get Along

Better With EVERYONE

Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:

1. Is it true?
2. Is it kind?
3. Is it necessary?
Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully
Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something
encouraging to someone
Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip and
don't listen to gossip
Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people
are doing the best they can
 Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue.
(It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)
Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing
or saying anything that could make matters worse
Let your virtues speak for themselves
If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what
he is saying; if so, make changes. If there is no truth
to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will
believe the negative remark
 Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest
distance between two people.
Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not
seek so much to be understood, as to understand; do not
seek so much to be loved as to love
 I pray that all of us will keep these points in mind and the
Biblical/Quranic/Vedantic principles behind them so that we
can continuously improve our personal relationships with
others wherever we are
